Singapore, 2 February 2026 – Kronos Research announces today that Kronos Ventures will transition to an independent firm under the new name Proxima, effective February 2, 2026. This shift reflects the team’s long-standing operational independence and their continued support of top founders and teams.
While the team will continue managing the existing Kronos Ventures portfolio with the same governance and decision-making discipline, the transition to Proxima allows the firm to build a distinct institutional brand and expand beyond early-stage venture investing. Proxima’s broadened mandate now encompasses venture investments, secondary-market liquid strategies, and advisory work, with a focus on crypto, frontier technology, and AI.
Kronos Research and Proxima will maintain a close and collaborative relationship, including selective co-investment, shared insights, and founder support where their capabilities are complementary. Kronos Research fully supports this transition and looks forward to continued collaboration as Proxima begins its next chapter.
Moving forward, Kronos Research will continue to make strategic investments independently and remain actively engaged in supporting founders with capital alongside its expertise in liquidity provision.
